So thought I'd give it a whirl tonight, played the £5 satellite just then and qualified, so I'm in the Semi at 9:30pm for a fiver. Fingers crossed!
Even if I don't qualify, I'll still be able to have a drink with the lads and play some side events.

I had this stupid idea in my head that if I raised I'd have been more likely to get re-jammed on with weaker hands (thinking they could get a fold) than I would be to get called by weaker hands if I open shove. Once I got shoved on, felt pretty sick which shows the problem really, I induced and then wished I hadn't lol. Think I could have open folded this.
Almost sucked out on him too, by flopping the J and the FD so I had clubs, jacks or aces as outs
I just can't play satellites!!
I played 5 and won 4 for a £13.75 profit, so that's covered the fiver I lost in attempting SPT Blackpool.

I'm now earning 1p per point so 3p per Hyper, so should be able to earn another 2 or 3 quid. Still looking good to meet my aim of getting back to £280 for the end of the month.
Going back to your ROI question on Saturday;
42 games @ 5.25 = 220.50 invested
19.50 profit / 220.50 invested x 100% = 8.84% ROI
That forumula will work whenever you want to calculate your ROI over a session
ie profit (or loss) / total of buy-ins x 100% = ROI
Yeah you're right Dohhhhh, annoys me so much. I always seem to play really well in the £5 games, then make stupid decisions in the £24 one. If that was in the £5 I'm sure I'd have just open folded.
I think I just got my eye on the prize a bit too much sometimes, and always have in the back of my head 'just one double up will make things comfortable' lol... I lose all patience at them end stages of a satellite where patience is everything. So annoying.
Just got another quick session in. I now 2-table at all times because I feel completely comfortable with it now, and can get a ton more games in. So was a quick session but I played 20 games, and won 11 for a £5 profit. Donked off in the last one with 2nd pair thinking he was being aggro with a FD and then a missed FD on river but oh well. Also earned 60 points so that's 60p

So that's 25 games so far today, might try to get that up to 50 later tonight.

Still confident I'll reach my target of £280 by the end of the month.
But if you fancy giving hypers a go for a month, then feel free to join in lol.
Anyway, she'd had enough and we were just watching an episode of Red Dwarf before bed so I thought I'd cram a few more in. I played 8 and won 5 for a £8 profit
So all in all today, I've played 58 games, and won 32 for a total profit of £15.50 so an ROI of just over 5%

He's definitely phoning me to tell me either way so I guess no news is good news
But yeah money's probably on JJ and yeah he does deserve it.
I'll be posting up some results soon from a monster session (for me) that has been brutal in patches but I think I'm getting back on top/makign a bad situation less ugly lol
Right, well I've finished playing now, think I've hypered myself out for today and think Emma will probably kill me if I spend another minute on this laptop so I won't be getting in a session tonight. Played alot of games, and it was very up and down, was in profit for a small time, but spent alot of the time, just uder the break even point.
Then I went on a horrid run, one example is in 1 game having 850 chips v 150, and getting him all in with AQ, then KJ, then AQ in 3 hands back to back, all of which I was ahead and all of which I lost. Then lost flip after flip and found myself about -£50 for the session
So that explains why now I have never been so happy to finish a session with an £8 loss lol. So am glad it's not even 2 BIs down and I earned ALOT of C4P which makes up for almost a quarter of that loss. Played 72 games and won 37 of them.

A well earned rest for me tonight!
This site might bring me up against some slightly tougher competition and probably a few less really bad players, so I'm gonna give it a go to test the waters and see if the difference in standard counteracts the rake difference or not.
As an example of the difference it could make... yesterday I played 72 Hypers so paid £18 in rake. If this other site offered a £5 game, then the rake I would have paid would have been £7.20, so yesterday when I managed to make a loss of £8 for the session, that would have actually been a £2.80 profit in other places.
I'm not leaving Sky by any means, but will be pinching £20 off my roll, giving me somewhere in the region of $40 (I'll find out exactly when I deposit) and see how I get on with my little venture. I'll be posting updates on both bankrolls here so you can see how I'm getting off with the difference in rake/player standard. Obviously I won't mention the other site's name as I doubt Sky would be impressed lol.
Thus my target for the end of May is to get my Sky bankroll up to £260 because I've withdrawn £20 and was aiming for £280.
Sky Bankroll: £225.52
??? Bankroll: $31.14
Poker Points: 1381 (£13.81)
EDIT: Exchange rates not quite what I thought it was lol, but yeah £20 is $31.14 so let's see how I get on.

Won't be able to play TOO much in June cos I need to get 1000 games in on Sky. But I think I can finish 1000 easily half way through the month, then spend some time floating between the two.
Sky Bankroll: £239.27 (remember I withdrew £20 earlier)
??? Bankroll: $44.34
Poker Points: 1396 (£13.96)
So my BR + C4P currently is £253.23 so I have either tonight or tomorrow to earn an extra £6-7 to meet my target for May. I'm well happy with how I've done for C4P this month, I think it's actually the highest I've ever got!
Just never managed to get going, literally didn't flop TP or better in the entire tourney. That's punishment for winning 8/9 games earlier lol. Definitely be giving these a go again though if they stick to having so few runners and £1 BI.
